Carrying a lot is a positive, you don't have to carry a ton, but having the ability is a positive for someone who wants to pack a lot if they are going on a very long trip.

This thread is just taking a turn that every adventure riding definition takes on adv rider. That's why I say elitist. Hell a harley can be a great adventure riding bike. I don't think there is a #1 adv bike. I think the #1 adv bike is the bike any person owns, because that's the bike you are going to have an adventure on.

then what's the point of the category then if every bike can be an adventure bike?

I agree the best bike, is the bike your sitting on... but to stir the pot a bit using your definition... I think you'll have more of an adventure on a moped than a GS... after all... getting into things way over your head is an adventure! just like the Top Gear episode with the $1000 bikes!

It's a stupid category. I agree.

That episode was awesome, but I don't think it was the bikes. It was the people that made it fun.

fun yes... adventure no.

remember an adventure isn't always fun nor enjoyable. had they done the same thing on GS1200's or DRZ's or any larger bike... it wouldn't have been much of an adventure... and they'd have a lot more work on their hands to make it worth while to air. (but I'm sure it would have still been a blast)

There you go adding elitist stipulations to it again. You don't have to have a hard time or it be difficult to be an adventure. I am sure they could of made it entertaining because Jeremy couldn't even ride before the show. And the pranks would of still been just as funny. They maybe wouldn't of had the threat to run the American bike though.

Being entertaining for a forum or television show isn't a requirement for an adventure.
